Help name new route
September 01, 2013, 04:34:06 pm
Due to my normal inability to name new routes with anything which people like decided to put it to the vote.

First two have Seamus Heaney links (Exposure, and beowulf) as well as the more obvious, 3rd one seems a little boring to me and 4th is Mays suggestion...

I voted for Captain Underpants, my 6 year old confirmed it was by far the best choice.

I like Grendel - a tribute to Heaney and in keeping with the beast theme.  Along the same lines, how about Hrunting or Naegling: swords Beowulf used to try to slay the beasts, Grendel's mother and the dragon.

Hold the fuck on, where's pain aux chocolate, where's pink anasazi? (Either of which incidentally I'd vote for)

Just 'Beauty', it'll look good next to 'The Beast' and it is a beauty!

Leave Grendel etc to the link-up merchants.

Requiem for the Brute? A la requiem for the croppies, and Heaney himself. Too depressing? Otherwise I like grendel.

To be fair all of these are vastly better than the usual fruit n bird stream of conciousness. I vote Beauty but would be happy if Captain Underpants won, I think May can be trusted with these things better than her dad can. Bon effort BTW.

Isn't captain underpants a kids poem? Remember the author coming to my primary school and reading it!

I voted Other. Cos The Other would be a great name on it's own but especially given this context. I realise there are much more sensible suggestions but as there's no pain aux chocolate on the poll it's null anyway.

Neck-a-neck between The Beauty and Captain Underpants - surely warrants a combination of the two?!

Beautiful Underpants?

Underpants beauty?

Beauty is better than 'The Beauty'. Who's this Seamus Heaney chap and what's he got to do with the route anyway?

Looks like The Beauty it is (now used Captain Underpants elsewhere to keep May happy) feeling a little guilty using such a normal name but it does fit...

Agreed. Lose the "The".

Surely it makes sense to keep the "The"? After all, the other routes it's part of all have "The" at the start:

The Brute
The Beauty
The Beast

Naming FAs is all about the fit!

Pretty sure your Beast will be harder than mine too.
